THAI GRILLED CHICKEN - 4 Servings
==========
3-4 lb whole chicken (spatchcocked through the breasts)
1/2 TBSP Fish Sauce
2 TBSP Light Soy Sauce
1 TBSP Palm Sugar
1/2 TBSP Dark Sweet Soy Sauce (substitute w/ Indonesian kecap manis)
4 TBSP Water
1 Head of Garlic
1 Stalk Lemongrass - chopped
1 TBSP Whole Black & White Peppercorns
4 Coriander Roots (or 6 coriander/cilantro stems)
DIPPING SAUCE - NAM JIM JAEW
--------------------
1/2 TBSP Toasted Rice Powder
1/4 TBSP Chili Powder
1/2 TBSP Sugar
2 TBSP Fish Sauce
3 TBSP Watered Down Tamarind (about this amount, but you can add more or less depending on your taste)
Few sprigs of cilantro to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------
Pound garlic, peppercorns, lemongrass, and coriander roots until rough paste forms.
Mix in palm sugar, sauces, and water.
Spatchcock chicken through the breasts.
First, make an incision through the breasts until you reach the bone. Then chop through the bone with a cleaver.
Flip and press down on the backbone to crack and flatten the chicken.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken - inside and out - and marinate overnight.
Prepare your grill and once the charcoal has greyed all over, spread it out into a thin layer.
We're grilling on low heat!
Tie bamboo sticks together with metal wiring if using. The bamboo sticks should be sitting right above the thigh and sie of the wings.
Grill skin side UP for 15 minutes then flip and add the leftover marinade to the bone side.
Flip every 15 minutes.
It should take roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour for a 3lb chicken. (1 hour - 1.5 hours for a 4-5lb chicken).
Be careful grilling on too high of a heat, the skin will burn really fast.
Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients and set aside.
Taste and adjust to your liking! It should be tangy, salty, sweet, & spicy.
Chop the chicken into manageable pieces and enjoy!
